Daisy Milner

Director

She/Her. I am a free-lance Theatre Director with a focus on bringing new writing to new audiences, particularly work that centres around relevant political and societal challenges. I believe that theatre is our vehicle for change and the lens we should use to examine and better the world we live in.

I also have a background in arts administration including work at Theatre503, Canal Cafe Theatre and the Diversity School Initiative. I aspire to work as an Artistic Director in the coming years and I look to expand my theatrical skill set in any way possible with producing, writing, administration and venue management as well as directing.
